_ HEN FACTORIES
_INSKY SCRAPERS
NEWEST WRINKLE
By RALPH H. TAYLOR
If you step off the elevator at one
of the top floors of a skyscraper office building some day soon to hear
chickens cackling and _ roosters
crowing—with hand trucks loaded
with crates of newly laid eggs being trundled about and bookkeeping
machines recording: the day’s production—try to -keep calm. It may
not be that nervous’ breakdown
you’ve feared after all. It may be
true!
The latest contribution to synthetic agriculture—synthetic, at least,
as a “dirt farmer’ would view it—
is the chicken factory.
Capping the climax, thus far, in
this business of turning the hen in-to a city bird, without the benefits
of rura] life or even a place to
scratch, 35,000 good layers are now
working a 13 hour day in a six story
metropolitan Joft building in an
eastern city,’ according to the September ‘issue of Forbes’ Magazine.

And tens of thousands of other hens,
bota broilers ‘and layers, have become mere ‘units of production” in
other chicken factories it is disclosed
by Phillip H. Smith, in his article
entitled, “The Factory System Takes
Hold of the Hen!”
Creator of the factory poultry
system is Milton H. Arndt, an Illinois farm boy who made good in the
city——after ups and downs and many
years of experimental work —— and
Whose main business now is building
cages for office-building chicken factories started by his discivles. On
less than an acre of ground. near
Trenton, New Jersey, Arndt houses
his factory—for manufacturing the
equipment for other factories—and
16.000 hens. Nearby, however, he has
a 90 acre farm where he_ breeds
pedigreed chicks, specially suited for
cage work:
In.the Arndt type chicken factory,
row after row of cakes, each cage the .
permanent home of a hen, line up
like filing cabinets in a modern business office. Each hen is a unit of}
production. She is fed a definite
amount of raw material from which
she produces a known unit output.
On each cage there’s a card, recording her production. And when she
falls below par, she’s headed for
fricassee.
Factory chicken’ production has
tried before and had failed,
Arndt recounts, due to the fact that}
each hen jhad to have a promenade
to get her quota of sunshine. He

batteries—cages holding about 100;
later, they are transferred to. growbatteries—larger cages with
fewer birds; .then. they progress to
developing batteries where the cockerels are made ready for market and
pullets are built up to lay. Finaly,
each hen enters a laying. battery.
Each hen must produce a minimum of 108 eggs per year to pay her
overhead in the poultry fattory, according to Arndt. To escape fricassee,~she must produce from 52 to
117 more eggs each year for ‘“‘profit.’ Heating and ventilating make
all seasons the same; electric lighting is used so the nens can work 13
hours a day. Feed costs are carefully
tabulated; a hen can eat. all she
wants, but patented devices prevent
waste. Usually, it reguires 18 -pounds
of feed to get to laying age; six

hen. Chief advantage of the chicken
factory .a¢cording to Arndt,’ is. its
appeal to retired business men—and
its nearness to market. Sometimes .
there are grocery stores and restaurants in the same building housing
the chicken factory!
Last year, Arndt, the factory chicken man, grossed more than $1,00,000, according to Forbes’ Magazine,
and there are now chicken factories .
